The City of Portland uses funds collected from City Income Tax for street improvements. The dollar amount varies year to year, depending on income. The net income available for street projects has averaged $569,433 per year between 1996-2009.

The ultimate purpose for the existence of the Portland Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is to protect the public and the environment from the harmful effects of raw sewage generated by those living and working in the City of Portland.
